SALT LAKE CITY--
The Utah gymnastics team made two announcements today regarding its 2016 freshman class. Sabrina Schwab, a Senior Elite qualifier out of Texas, has signed a National Letter of Intent for next season, while MyKayla Skinner, who signed with the Utes in November, will defer enrollment for a year to pursue a berth on the U.S. Olympic team.
Schwab, from Lucas, Texas, qualified as a Senior Elite on her very first attempt at the 2013 WOGA Classic Elite Qualifier, winning the all-around in both the compulsory and optional elite testing. She also won the compulsory vault, bars, beam and floor and took first on vault, bars and beam, and second on floor in the optional portion. Also in 2013, she placed fourth in the all-around in the Houston National International (HNI).
Schwab trains at WOGA in Plano, Texas, for coaches Valeri Liukin, Megan Haught and Nataliya Marakova. A senior at Lovejoy High School, she is the daughter of Karin and Robert Schwab.
"Sabrina has the potential to be an All-American on bars and beam," said Utah coach Megan Marsden. "She will add artistry and quality of movement to our lineup. Sabrina may have a chance to surprise some people since she has had some injury issues for the past two seasons and has flown under the radar."
Skinner, a two-year member of the U.S. Senior National Team and a member of the gold medalist USA team at the 2014 World Championships, will defer enrolling at the U. for a year while she trains for the 2016 Olympics. The U.S. Olympic Women's Gymnastics Trials are July 8-10, 2016.
Utah signed three other gymnastics commits in November who plan to join the team in the fall. They are Junior Olympic qualifiers Shannon McNatt (Houston, Texas), MaKenna Merrell (Pleasant Grove, Utah) and Erika Muhaw (Montville, N.J.).
